shurlock Posted 18 March, 2020 Share Posted 18 March, 2020 Really disappointed in Amazon’s Nazi hunting thing, it can’t seem to work out wether it’s a cartoon or serious. Missed opportunity imo.

shurlock Posted 19 March, 2020 Share Posted 19 March, 2020 (edited) Don't F**k With Cats on Netflix is worth a watch... Yes very bingeworthy. Saw it over the Xmas holidays, conjured up images of mongboarders tracking new signings on Flightradar24. The protagonist was truly chilling, especially how he was first introduced (his doctored profile popping up all over the web). Still it left plenty of threads hanging - did the group actually contribute to his capture -I got the sense it’s role was overegged by the filmmakers and was the woman followed to her workplace or was it a red herring? Thought the final episode was simultaneously manipulative and a bit of an anticlimax. But that might just reflect on how gripping the first two episodes were.

Kingsland Codger Posted 19 March, 2020 Share Posted 19 March, 2020 If Second World War History is your thing, there are some superb You Tube videos Mark Felton Productions Drachinifel (Naval warfare) World War Two week by week If the war on the Eastern Front is your thing, YouTube has some excellent dramas from Russia and Belarus with English subtitles. The Dawns Here Are Quiet, Night Swallows and Hunting The Gauleiter all from Star Media are a good starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 20 March, 2020 Share Posted 20 March, 2020 (edited) It is brilliant The last episode was a bit hit and miss (guess it’s the calm before the storm of the final episode) but the run of three episodes in the middle -the driving lesson, Len’s internet romance and Kurtan’s half-brother funeral- rivalled anything from the first two series.

An episode based on the week they'd actually had - standing in for the vicar - would have been great. Very much enjoyed the three you mentioned though.

Manuel Posted 31 March, 2020 Share Posted 31 March, 2020 I'm lucky enough to have a small garden. Have been doing a bit of maintenance to the path that runs down it, basically trimming and weeding, making sure the grass doesn't take it over. Very pleasurable in the garden at the moment...no aircraft noise, fewer cars. The noise of the birds seems to be taking over...very refreshing. Think I just identified the call of a green woodpecker.

SO16_Saint Posted 5 April, 2020 Share Posted 5 April, 2020 We’re having an extension conversion built - or more accurately we were. I’ve repurposed the bricks that were replaced and build a border wall. It’s not the straightest or prettiest but I built it and it’s killed a weekend.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 11 April, 2020 Share Posted 11 April, 2020 I watched an interesting film last night. “Un cut Gems” on Netflix. I wouldn’t say it was brilliant as I spent a third of the time wondering whether to turn off, but it was weirdly addictive. The ending was excellent and Adam Sandler was superb (as was his mistress’ arse). Reminded me a lot of Mean Streets, lots of noise, action & jerky sort of camera shots/angles. There’s so much going on that maybe it’s one to watch again to fully appreciate. Has anyone seen it, and If so, what did you think?

That’s how I felt for about an hour, had to really force my self to continue watching (not a great recommendation) , but in the end found it quite compelling. It’s the strangest feeling I’ve ever had at the end of a film. Normally it’s , “that was ****e”, or “that was good”, or even “meh”, but this was half ****e half good. Weird.
